Grant Description

On September 27, 2016, the Government of China granted the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) USD$2,000,000 for emergency refugee relief.

The aid was intended to respond to civil unrest in Syria and contributed to the UNCHR's 2016 Syria Regional Refugee and Resilience plan (3RP) for Iraq (UN project code SRRP-16/MS/91647/R). 3RP requested USD$4.54bn for the implementation of its plan, but only USD$2.76bn was raised by twenty-three member states in 2016.

The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA) reported that China's contribution was paid. This project is captured by UNOCHA flow #147433.
